Sir Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant and James Fox star in what many call Merchant Ivory’s finest film, about the shifts in class and loyalties in England during and after WWII. Longtime Merchant Ivory screenwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala adapted Nobel Laureate Kazuo Ishiguro’s Booker Prize-winning novel. A must-see companion to the new Merchant Ivory documentary (above).

“Here’s a film for adults. It’s also about time to recognize that Mr. Ivory is one of our finest directors, something that critics tend to overlook because most of his films have been literary adaptations.” — Vincent Canby, The New York Times

“All the meticulousness, intelligence, taste and superior acting that one expects from Merchant Ivory productions have been brought to bear.” — Todd McCarthy, Variety
